I am so looking forward to giving this webinar for the Statistics Society of Australia. I'll be offering a glimpse into what I'm working on right now for the next generation of parallelism. The event is still open for you to sign up - 8am BST / 9am CEST Thursday 22nd Nov - link below. #Rstats

🖇️ readxl 1.6.0 is released 🖇️ It includes fixes for several CVEs and can read password-protected xlsx files 🗝️ #rstats readxl.tidyverse.org/news/index.h...

Highlight of my week. My student baked #Shiny hex sticker shortbread for our interactive dashboard class 😭

I'm talking about what I'm working on right now. This is not a retrospective. Sign up through the link below! #Rstats #Tidyverse #Rshiny

I'm super glad to report that mori is now part of r-lib. mori.r-lib.org

I loved this talk. Mirai reinvented my workflow and mori looks like another huge level up! Thank you

Thrilled to have just presented "Never block, never copy. mirai + mori from Shiny to the cluster" at posit::conf(2026). The slides are available here: shikokuchuo.net/posit2026 mirai: mirai.r-lib.org mori: shikokuchuo.net/mori/ #tidyverse #rshiny #positconf2026

Using {mirai} to absolutely throttle my machine to train Graph Neural Networks in parallel with {torchgnn) github.com/josiahparry/... #rstats

We're excited to share commons, an R and Python package that helps data scientists build trustworthy data agents for their organizations! Read more on the @posit.co open source blog: opensource.posit.co/blog/2026-09...

🎤 Just presented “shinyreact: Building Custom Shiny UI with React” at posit::conf(2026) 🤔 Ever written JS or CSS inside an R string? shinyreact moves your UI to React: two hooks on the client, reactive_output() on the server. 📚 bit.ly/posit-2026-shinyreact #rstats #shiny #reactjs

Level up R workflows with @shikokuchuo.net 🚀 Charlie will give us a practical tour of the open source stack he created to improve parallel computing 📦 Join our Stats Computing + Data Vis Webinar and learn from the best💡 🗓️ THU 22 Oct ⌚️18:00 AEDT | 07:00 UTC 📌 Register statsoc.org.au/event-6817896

FOSS4G Hiroshima 2026 is only a few days away! I'll talk about SedonaDB. 📅 Sep 1st, 14:00–14:30 🚪 Room4 talks.osgeo.org/foss4g-2026/...

Come join me at posit::conf(2026)! We're almost there (Sept 14-16). I'm speaking in the 'from laptop to cluster' session on scaling further and scaling safely for Shiny and other R production workloads. There's a page for everything that's happening: conf.posit.co/2026/sessions/ #Rstats #Rshiny

posit::conf(2026) is coming faster and faster and I'm finishing up my sticker designs! If you have used my #slidecrafting tools, attended a talk, a workshop, is interested at all, please come up to me to receive a sticker and an optional chat!

How do you choose an LLM? A survey of the current model landscape, including results from the vibes-from-Sara-and-Simon eval (/s) New on the @posit.co open source blog: opensource.posit.co/blog/2026-08...

Some of us at Posit have switched to Kimi K3 as a daily driver. Really proud that my colleagues host this open weights model in Posit AI. I've not had to reach for Fable all week!

I've been really impressed with Kimi K3 and GLM 5.2 the last couple weeks. I'm excited to share that we've made the models available in Posit AI with strong privacy guarantees and a steep discount compared to the Claude models currently available in the service! opensource.posit.co/blog/2026-08...

Working on a new raster engine for #rstats, {garry}, powered by {gdalraster}, {anvl} and {mirai}. Still messy as hell but already the performance is pretty exciting. Only for the brave right now but ideas and opinions are still welcome! github.com/belian-earth... #rspatial #remotesensing

roxygen2 8.1.0 is now out with two small performance improvements: opensource.posit.co/blog/2026-08... (one will probably change your NAMESPACE, hence the minor version + blog post)

R-universe now provides binaries and check results for Windows-ARM64 of all CRAN and BIOC packages: contributor.r-project.org/windows-arm64/

{tidync} 0.5.0 now on CRAN @ropensci.org cran.r-project.org/web/packages... This adds long-wanted multi-source open with tidync() - opt-in for parallelized read via {mirai} and a huge cleanup along with {ncmeta} /1

Quarto 1.10 shipped Friday. The highlights page lists one feature. The changelog lists 74. Mostly preview friction: stale pages, _brand.yml ignored until restart, format: changes needing two renders. If you work in Positron, that's your whole day. A boring release. Best kind.

I adore examples of good crosspolination across languages. In-line dependencies is an awesome uv feature. Excited to see it inhabit the R and Quarto worlds as well!

Fantastic talk from @emitanaka.org on working with LLMs in #datascience at #ICOTS12. Highlights thinking of interacting with AI as a junior analyst with the statistician/data scientist in a manager/supervisor role to review/quality control output. Always enjoy hearing Emi talk! #statistics #teaching

"We have no agency to slow down AI, but we do have agency to help people avoid some of the harms in getting incorrect answers." Posit CTO Joe Cheng on why he kept building anyway. Listen on Spotify (open.spotify.com/episode/5pD6...) and Apple Podcasts (podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...).

httr2 1.3.0 is out now! Includes a bunch of improvements to OAuth token caching and summarises some of the biggest changes in the last few patch releases — opensource.posit.co/blog/2026-07.... #rstats

Until next time! It's been a fantastic #useR2026 in Warsaw. Honestly, there's a real depth to the talent we have in our #Rstats community. Keep doing your amazing work and wow us all at the next conf! (can you spot me here?)

It's always nice to re-connect with old friends, but some of my best conversations at #useR2026 this year have been with people I'm meeting for the first time. For many of them this is their first useR!, even if they've been doing #Rstats stuff for a number of years. I also spoke about CRDTs today!

Really enjoyed the talk by Charlie Gao (@shikokuchuo.net) on real-time collaborative editing at #useR2026. If this makes it into Quarto 2, I'll be very excited to try it out. 🚀

#Rstats really is a great community - I'm surprised by how many ppl I know through past events. It's been so great catching up with you all - everyone I've spoken to thus far. Also delighted to be meeting some people for the first time! #useR2026 opening reception a success, onto the first conf day!

It's summer again, and that means #useR2026 🤗 #Rstats

Good news for Europe: posit::conf's virtual pass now includes auto-subtitles in French, Spanish, Portuguese, German & Italian 🎉 Plus a virtual workshop on 9/14, multiple time slots, and recordings within hours — easy to catch afternoon US sessions next morning. Join us virtually!

Installing mirai from source just got simpler: no more CMake. As of nanonext 1.10.0 (mirai's communications layer), the whole stack now builds with just a C compiler. This means mirai installs anywhere R does, even on really ancient Linux boxes! mirai.r-lib.org #Rstats #Tidyverse #RShiny
